There are two structures based on time_t that conflict between libc and kernel: timeval and timespec. Both are now renamed to __kernel_old_timeval and __kernel_old_timespec. For time_t, the old typedef is still __kernel_time_t. There is nothing wrong with that name, but it would be nice to not use that going forward as this type is used almost only in deprecated interfaces because of the y2038 overflow. In the IPC headers (msgbuf.h, sembuf.h, shmbuf.h), __kernel_time_t is only used for the 64-bit variants, which are not deprecated. Change these to a plain 'long', which is the same type as __kernel_time_t on all 64-bit architectures anyway, to reduce the number of users of the old type.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
